NDP statement on Ford’s $1,000-a-round golf fundraiser in Muskoka

QUEEN’S PARK — NDP Ethics and Accountability critic Taras Natyshak released the following statement on tomorrow’s $1,000-per-person Doug Ford and friends golfing fundraiser in Muskoka:

“Ontarians are rightfully teed off that Doug Ford has time to sell access to himself and his cabinet for a thousand bucks and a few golf balls to insiders and lobbyists in Muskoka. Instead of top priorities like fixing the backlog in health care procedures and tests, helping small businesses survive the pandemic or developing a real plan for a safe September in schools, Doug Ford is teeing off with his ministers and those with deep pockets,” said Taras Natysak.

“Asking fore a friend, how much time will Doug Ford spend fundraising rather than working on the critical issues facing Ontario right now? We know hanging out with rich backroom insiders and lobbyists is Doug Ford’s cup of tee, but Ontarians deserve better.

“Ford needs to quit wasting time and puttering around at fundraisers in his cottage’s backyard and get back to doing his job.”
